Garage Shop: Tools

I don't have to imagine...I was THERE, man....

 

Sorry to hear about your mother's condition.

 

Damn, now I miss krazie. That dude was a vehicle maintenance cautionary tale.

 

It was a rare affliction.

 

OK everyone, nothing to see here, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

I had that holder in my last work truck. Granted I was taking my phone out every call, and putting it back in between calls so it had a lot of use but it broke on me after a year. Specifically the legs on the tension side snapped off.

Those wrenches at the top put on the rack backwards and not matching the stencil are making me twitch!

Yup.was just there yesterday

 

Yeah, they struck me as the likely weak point...but dude, speaker phone. I've had zero issues with it so far


My first world problem with it is that this one loads with a downward push, and the ram cradle in my truck loads upward. Which causes the occasional retarded flailing on my part.

 

Me too.

 

HF emailed me a 25% coupon today. I'm not their biggest fan but worth taking a look. Check your emails!

 

Nice job edging the yard! Looks awesome!

 

Thank you sir

 

But it has restrictions....

 

Holy crap, I just read this entire thread....



My storage setup is made up of 60s-70s Snap On boxes/side boxes that need a little attention on the sliders. I have two more side boxes that I'm going to mount to the wall.

If I didn't have sentimental value tied to them, I might switch to the new Milwaukee toolboxes/benches. They look legit.

I'm currently unloading a bunch of old stuff on craigslist and switching pretty much all of my power tools to Milwaukee Fuel in M18 and M12.

Next thing to go will be my random collection of wrenches from assorted places. I've been looking at the Gearwrench 120XP ratcheting flex wrenches. I'm looking at the 120XP Ratchets as well. Anyone have experience with these?

 

I have one of the 120xp 3/8 drive ratchets. I like it. Also have the 84 tooth ratchets from gearwrench. Like them too. Theres not to many times I need the small arc swing of the 120 over the 84 but it is nice to have as an option.

 

Welp, ordered my first Tekton tools. Got a 1/2” drive set of deep metric sockets 10-24mm.

Looked at more Craftsman but wanted 6 point sockets and Craftsman is largely 12 point, at least locally. Also considered Sunex, but Tekton seemed to be a better deal, easy warranty and I like their socket rails in pictures. Will see how they are when they get here Wednesday.

 

Come on OP.. you know the deal. Pix damn it!
